1t was reported at the Milwaukee de-
pot last night that the Milwaukee COM
pany's bridge across the James east OF
this city had been moved some six
inches by the ice, but conductors who
passed over the bridge to-day report 10
all right.
A lower Third street man says he
wants street lamps, water from the city
works and many other iavors from tho
city this year. All these things can be
secured by putting the right men in
control of the city's affairs, and the right
men are named in this paper. Vote for
them.
On Third street, between Walnut and
Douglas, Ice to the thickness of two
feet accumulated during the winter on
the shady side and to-day this accumula-
ton has been removed by q stream OF
srtesiRn water through q few sections OF
fire hose attached to q hydrant. Ii was
a good job.
The brick layers aud contractors of
this city are afraid that the supply OF
brick will run out long before the de-
mands of this city are filled, and are
inclined to think that the brick yards
are supplying too many outside orders.
Two hundred Thousand Yankton brick
| will be used in Armour for building
Purposes this year.
John Fruxes, the young man who was
employed as night clerk at the Mereh-
ants hotel until lately, had some diff
Guilty in getting his trunk from the hotel
when he left. Various articles OF silver
ware have been missed from the MOTEL
closet and Johns trunk wes searched
by the sheriff, who found nothing there
IN except Johns honest possessions.
The Sioux City and Mitchell freight
train which went west to-day goes only
as far as Ethan. The railroad bridge
across Eaemy creek, about four miles
south of Mitchell, has been washed
away by a flood of ice and water. Pas
sengers were transported across the
creek yesterday, but the water is SO high
to-day that the transfer business became
dangerous.
The continued warmth is cause for
wonder, but along with the pleasures OF
the situation come ~forebodings of o
cold April. We are learning respect for
the ground hog. Since the day he
couldn't see his shadow we have had
no winter weather. Mud is rapidly dry
ing up and farmers have begun opera
tions in the fields. The season opens
auspieiously. Plenty of moisture and
plenty of sunshine.
Judge Tripp remarked to-day that all
reports that he has had anything to do
with recommending appointees to Gov
ernor Church are untrue. He has never
talked upon the subject of patronage
with the governor and considers it en-
tirely outside of his sphere of action and
decidedly out of place in n occupying
a judicial position. The judge seemed
to have some feeling because he had
been misrepresented.
DR.. McGlumphy, superintendent Of
the county board of health, and DR.. Van
Velsor, superintendent of the city board
of health, have joined IN the work O
suppressing scarlet fever in this city anc
in accomplishing this they will invoke
the law of its fullest extent. This de-
termination carried out will eradicate
the disease in q few weeks and will saw
the lives of many of the children 0
Yankton parents. The object will b,
admitted by all to be we'll worth th'
effort. and Yankton people will, We ar
certain, give these officer
the strongest backing. Tb,
process may inaict inconvenience
upon a few, but it is for the safety of th'
many, and not aver 80 much as a hint o
opposition to the edlcts of the healtl
! officers or criticism of their method
. should be tolerated. An official orde
. has been issued closing all the churche
and forpidding all public gatherings
This order vigorously enforced, togethe
with other sanitary Instructions, wi
quickly wipe out the epidemic. All goo
citizens will assist the physicians.
